Gumby's Golden Globe Picks

Best Picture - Drama
-Slumdog Millionaire. I spent weeks wondering why this film was getting so much attention, though to be honest I didn't know much about it. Then I finally went to see it. Great story, great acting, great direction, it's a winner all around.

Best Picture - Comedy or Musical
-Mamma Mia did very well in the box office so I will pick that, though I loved Burn After Reading.

Best Actor - Drama
-Mickey Rourke, sorry Penn, going to have to pass up on you this time.

Best Actress - Drama
-I feel Meryl Streep deserves this one.

Best Actor - Comedy or Musical
-Brendan Gleeson though I really don't have a reason why.

Best Actress - Comedy or Musical
-Though I have not seen it, Happy-Go-Lucky has won numerous awards, so I'm going to say Sally Hawkins.

Best Supporting Actress
-Penelope Cruz, I've been informed she is amazing in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Best Supporting Actor
-Heath Ledger, there is no way he won't win.

Best Director
-Danny Boyle.

Best Screenplay
-I want to give this one again to Slumdog Millionaire as I was very amazed by the story and how it was all put together.

Best Original Song - Motion Picture
-Clint Eastwood, he sounds like my old chain smoking science teacher, plus it’s a good song.

Best Original Score - Motion Picture
-I like good Old Clint, and his jazzy score to Changeling was quite good, but I choose him for best Original Song, so my pick will be The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Best Animated
-WALL-E. If this doesn't win then someone has paid off a lot of people.

Best Foreign Language Film
-Waltz with Bashir seems to be getting some recognition, so I will do the same.

Now for the TV portion. I don't watch much TV, so most of the TV Series awards are going to be guesses based on knowledge gained by friends.

Best TV Series - Drama
-Alright so I have seen House M.D., but I have never watched any of the other shows before, though Dexter and Mad Men seem to have some buzz (amoungt my friends). So I'm going to give this one to Dexter.

Best TV Series - Musical or Comedy
-I haven't seen any of these shows either, guess that's what you get when you only have 3 channels. So let's say 30 Rock, it didn't win last year and Tina Fey has been quite popular this year.

Best Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV
-Let's say John Adams for this one, period pieces usually do well (I think)

Best Performance by and Actor in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV
-I'll give this one to Kevin Spacey, no real reason.

Best Performance by and Actress in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV
-How about Susan Sarandon

Best Performance by and Actor in a TV Series - Musical or Comedy
-I'll give this on to Kevin Connolly as the others have all won this category at some point before now. Share the wealth.

Best Performance by and Actress in a TV Series - Musical or Comedy
-Tine Fey won last year so my pick is Debra Messing as she is so far an 8 time loser.

Best Performance by and Actor in a TV Series - Drama
-Michael C. Hall, as Hugh Laurie has already one twice.

Best Performance by and Actress in a TV Series - Drama
-I'm starting to think all the same people get nominated for these TV Series acting awards every year. Alright Sally Field.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television
-Tom Wilkinson, why not?

Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television

-And finally Dianne Wiest. She seems like a veteran to these shows.
